Thanks everyone who participated in this thrice-removed vote.

– Nattes came out ahead in the poll, so we cast our WOW vote for her
= Based on similar votes by 10 other affiliates, Nattes was also appointed as the selector for the thematic affiliates.  So she will be on the 9-person affiliates-selection committee.
≡ The affiliates-selectors will vote for six members of the 15-person charter-drafting committee.
# The charter-drafters will draft versions of a charter and devise a way [for the whole movement] to ratify it.

If you have followed all of that, you qualify to stand as a candidate for the global council next summer...

Hello everyone


So, the process chosen is that each UG will cast a vote to appoint a selector.
Then all the selector will choose candidates for the Drafting Committee

There are three candidates... Namrood, LiAnna Davis and Nattes à chat

After discussion, Sj and I have chosen to propose you a super simple survey form and we will cast the UG vote according to your votes.

Dear friends

Sj and I have received this information from Mervat, related to the voting of selectors for the Movement Charter Drafting Committee affiliate selectors group. This is an important step in the selection of Drafting Charter Committee Members. As a result of the elections, 15 committee members will be elected and tasked with writing the Mouvement Charter, which will in particular establish the roles and responsibilites of the future Global Council for mouvement governance. At this stage, I must say that despite the title of this email, it looks generally as a rather complicated process to me

We were also offered that visual to better understand what's going on here...

Step 1 is "ok". We were listed in the "Thematic Group" of voters. Which seems perfectly suitable. There are 8 geographical regions and 1 thematic group. The next step is currently being discussed amongst Affiliates representants. The formely approved process is that all Affiliates should meet according to their "region/thematic" and agree to vote on a Selector. The Selector will in turn cast the vote. The current proposition is to "shunt" the Selector here, and have Affiliates vote within their group, and let the vote decide of the people selected by the group. I will follow up on that ... ermmm... very administrative issue... and will have a talk with Sj to make sure we cast the Affiliate vote (be it directly, or through a Selector).

This being said, I wanted to share with you the complete list of candidates and invite you to have a look. If you have private comments about the candidates (big opposition or big support), please write to Sj and I privately about it https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Drafting_Committee/Candidates

Dear Wikimedians for Offline Wikis representatives,


I am following up on the long email we sent to you last week regarding the setup process of the Movement Charter Drafting Committee affiliate selectors group. We are following up with a quick step-by-step summary to make the request more clear:

  • Step 1 - We are using a regional approach. Verify that your affiliate appears in the right region in the list. If yes, no action needed. If not, please correct it.

  • Step 2 - All affiliates in the region will nominate 1 selector for the whole region. Arrange an online meeting, social media conversation or wiki page to decide the process for your region.

  • Step 3 - Run the process of selecting the selector.

  • Step 4 - Notify the Movement Strategy and Governance team of the outcome, so we can set up and convene the group of selectors.

  • These steps should be completed by October 10, 2021.

  • Movement Strategy and Governance team is readily available to support or facilitate any regional discussions at any of the described steps.

The Movement Strategy and Governance team will be available to answer any questions or specifications you may have regarding this.


Looking forward to hearing from you!




Mervat Salman (She/Her)

Movement Strategy and Governance Facilitator
